screenshot of geary window on launch from task panel Ubuntu Unity (15.10)

Just opened the client to look at one of the emails I have received, from the Ubuntu Unity 15.10 task panel(?)) and apart from window decoration there is a blank interface.
This also happened when I launched Geary from the launcher.
A system restart did not correct the error.

Thanks

have the same problem in ubuntu 16.04 upgraded from 15.10.
the problem is resolved if i kill the geary process in task manager and restart geary from the panel applet.

Hi there, thanks for reporting this issue.

Andrew/dysonsphere, if you can reproduce this, please attach the output from running with debug output enabled, e.g. after launching it from the command line using "geary -d", when the issue is occurring. You may want to redact your email addresses from the debug output before attaching to this bug.

Sorry, have moved to another OS (work commitments), so am unable to do this.  I did try to install and run geary from a clean install of ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 but couldn't get geary to actually run at all. Not sure why.
Again, apologies.

Updated patch that catches a few more cases.
Comment 6 Michael Gratton 2016-05-09 12:14:24 UTC
Hey Adam, please commit the patch when you have a moment. This and Geary's window management general could get cleaned up a bit, but this will do for now given a release is imminent.

Pushed to master.  I'll let you close this if appropriate.
